证明感情总是善良残忍的是人会成长。

Of the last week of EPL

Watching the Survival Sunday matches just led fart to realise something:

Needing to survive doesnt mean you will.

After all, without the necessary elements of skills, hard work and sheer amount of luck, the idea of a great escape hangs in the air as mere cloud castles. The irony in this statement, however, is the cruelty dealt to the team that fights the hardest and yet gets relegated. This is atypical of project/group work; the one contributing the most might not necessary translate to the individual awarded the highest marks. That, is the beauty of unfairness. Cry foul and do it aloud. But trust me, it exists and will not go away.

Face value is important. Wayang is of figurative significance. People filter out awful sounding criticisms, despite the apparent constructive feedback it yields. People endear themselves more to flowery-peppered praises. Such, is the human nature. So is that to say wayang triumphs over hard work? fart has no answer, yet. However, he concludes that nothing will be more painful than slogging all the way to the finals as the underdog and yet, lose. So close, yet so far. Hero or zero, all decided in a stipulated timeframe. But is this timeframe itself just, fair?

Butthen, fart it lah. The farthobbit has learnt that optimism is oso important leh. It encompasses two components; Attitude and Confidence.
Fly away, and fly high.

P.S underdog more seh leh. people root more for underdog in the sly wor. Antiheroism will rule leh.

"Either you are with me or you are against me."

Gonna be a classic. Or izzit oredi is? hehe.

Of love

What is love?

Love is discovering and developing a taste for a song that was released years ago today.
Love is learning how to love.
Love is (remembering) your first.
Love is owning a pair of Air Jordan Pro Status.
Love is playing on nothing but heart.
Love is strumming and picking the newly acquired riffs and solos.
Love is crooning your heart away.

Most importantly, Love is, being loved.

Love is merely, simple. (Sometimes shrouded with intricacies)
It should be.
Simple is love.

Of loneliness (the older u get)

We are together but for the same modules we share. We are together but for the same vicinity we roam. We are together but for the same fulfilment we ought to complete.

But we shouldnt be together, in the first place.

We are just there to complement
leech each other. We go our separate ways the moment the deal's been clinched. We are mere catalysts partaking in a reaction; we come out unchanged.

But doesnt this belong to the android world?

This is ugly, but it must be of the highest standing in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution regarding the natural selection.
fart finds this painfully amusing. But is it really so hard to achieve simple camaderie (in fart's case)? fart just wants to wallow in a litta drinking session with a bunch of
brudders (and sistas) while chattin the world away. Or merely reveling in quality time letting his hair down, intoxicated with the fun shared amongst his peers.

It's just the simple things in life which are often hindered by hindsight.

简单,就是美。

But fart concedes its hard to find an A for an A. Chemistry has never been harder.

Of karmic proportions

fart's a believer of karma. Really. Of both the good and bad. And both the surreal and strange. There has been always bad karma going around that fart is already immune to it. He believes that it is of no use going against the tide and what's essential is making the best out of the ordeal. But he wasnt really ready for this one. And it was rather sweet too. hehe.

It was but any other day and fart was in his usual
nuah mode until the karmic angel or devil came aknocking. From outta da blue came the image of his first crush flashing across his mind. That was nothing out of the ordinary and fart concedes it goes by the proverbial "flash of the lighbulb". In fact, that was pretty normal. Nostalgia, he guessed. But what startled him was the very fact that he met her today! It was like, look, fart was thinking about her yesterday and suddenly she was manifested right in front of fart. How cool is that!

They had a
tête-à-tête, reminsicing the past and talking bout the present. However, fart feels that the puppy love of yesteryear had dissipated into oblivion and he was merely keng gai-ing with a long time fren that he had lost contact with.

But it was really a pleasant surprise that the karmic gods had placed on his doorstep. Nothing short of special.

相信命运,但绝不认命。
